The Page Turner Book Club: February 2021

10th Anniversary for The Page Turner Book Club!!!

It all began in February of 2011...

Okay, so maybe we don't look as worn as our original book club mugs. However, I think we all would say we've grown. Not just in numbers, but in heart and mind. We've been known to take a book and turn it inside out. We've delved in the deepest of conversation and have come out unwounded and sane. We turn pages like champions. Yes, we're survivors. Book Warriors.

Welcome to the Page Turner Book Club!!

Hello All,
The objective of the book club is to provide an opportunity to discuss and exchange views, conversation, and perspectives on a featured book selection.
Selfishly I wanted to justify making the time to read. If, you’ve been like me, life’s undertaking can preoccupy the best of us. After some encouragement and experiencing some failed attempts to attend another local book club, I decided to organize a club that could serve a handful of book readers that would appreciate an evening time slot.
I hope the PT book club provides a neutral place where members can feel equal and comfortable to converse. And if members would feel more comfortable to just sit and listen, that’s okay too.
Although, I’m more than willing to be a host when needed, I’d like to think of myself as more of the PT founder/organizer NOT the boss or the control freak.
PIease, please pick a month to be a “host” of one of our monthly meetings. I feel not only will this encourage everyone to feel like they’re given a fair opportunity but also to truly participate on every level as well. I’ve attached a description of host’s role and responsibilities
So, onward readers!!
~Nicole
